Whrilling Adventures on the Path to Freedom—Received by His Wife and Placed on Board # Steamship. Lonpon, August 11, 1874. ‘The following interesting particulars of the seascape of Marshal Bazaine from his prison on ‘the Isle of Ste. Marguerite have been re- ccoived:— HOW HE GOT AWAY. ‘The apartments occupied by Marshal Ba- @aine opened upon a terrace, which was built upon 6 lofty and precipitous cliff overhanging ‘the sea. A sentry was posted on the terrace, with orders to watch the prisoner’s every movement. During Sunday evening the Marshal walked upon the terrace with Colonel Villette, his aid- 4le-camp. At ten o'clock he retired as usual, apparently to sleep, but before daybreak he had effected his escape. AT DEAD OF NIGHT, He must have crossed the terrace in the dead of night, and, eluding the sentinel, xeached the edge of the precipice. Thence, by means of a knotted rope, he descended to the sea. He evidently slipped during the descent and tore his hands, as the rope was found stained with blood in several places. THE LOVE AND TOIL OF A FAITHFUL WIFE. Dnder the cliff, in a hired boat, were Bazaine’s wife and cousin. They received him as he reached the water, ‘and Madame la Maréchale, taking the oars herself, rowed directly toa strange steamer, which had been lying off the island since the Previous evening. ON BOARD A STEAMSHIP AND AWAY TO SEA. ‘They reached the vessel in safety, were taken on board, and the steamer then put to Bea, It is thought that they have landed at Genoa as the steamer proceeded in that direction. OYTIZEN EXCITEMENT AND AN ARREST. The first news of the affair came to Grasse, the nearest place on the coast, and the magis- trates ot the town immediately sent officers in every direction to search for the fugitives. There was great commotion in Marseilles ~when the facts became known. An investiga- tion was opened. Colonel Villette, who was ~walking with the Marshal on the evening of shia eacape, was discovered there and impris- -oned. ° The commandant of the fort of Stc. Mar- :guerite wos placed under arrest and General ‘Sewal has gone to the island to investigate the affair. Bazainé’s Prison. On the 26th of December, 1873, President Mac "Mahon notified Bazaine that he should serve out bis ‘term of twenty years’ imprisonment, or “geclusien,” in the island of Sainte Marguerite. This islawé is situated on the Mediterranean coast of France, opposite Cannes, about two and a half + mules from the shore. It lies close on the Italian frontier. It is amall in extent, covered with wood, vand-enjoys a saluprious climate, The castle has contained many famous prisoners, among others ‘the Man of the Iron Mask, as has been already detatiod in the H=RALD. Bazaine enjoyed many comforts, and was permitted occasionally the society of his wife and children, one of his sona femaining constantly with him. He has himself alleged that he would not attempt to escape, even At it were apparently possible to do so, FRANCE. ‘Communists Arrested at Marseilles.

The Championship and $2,000 at Stake. The Combat Takes Place at Mill Creek, W. Va. Eleven Rounds, Lasting Twenty- eight Minutes. EDWARDS AWARDED THE STAKES. Pirrssuga, Pa., August 11, 1874, All the afternoon Filth avenue, in the vicinity of the newspaper offices, was crowded by sporting men and citizens anxious to get the first tidings from the battle ground, but not until near tour o'clock was it announced on the bulletin boaras that the fight had begun. Owing to the close watoh kept by the authorities of Ohio the boat Could not safely land until two o’clock tnis after- noon, when they landed AT MILL CREEK, & Stream forming the dividing line between Penn- sylvania ana West Virginia, and about half a Malle above the line, Thisis the land where it was originally supposed the fight would take place. The ground selected was on the bank of this stream, and about two miles from the line of the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad, REFEBBE AND SECONDS. The ring was promptly pitcned, and after some discussion, Charley Oarroll, of Baltimore, was chosen referee, Barney Aaron and Johnny Newell acted as sec- onds to Collyer, and Tom Allen and Arthur Cham- bers for Edwards. THE MEN IN THE RING, At ‘three o'clock the men entered the ring, Collyer a little in advance, Both men were in ex- cellent condition. THE FIGHT.

At last they fell, Edwards on top an blood flowing freely from Collyer's face. Roun 7,—Collyer got in one, and after a few quiet exchanges they clinched and went down, wards again on top.

A square Knock down for Coll- yer. : Round 11.—Edwards came up slowly; Collyer very weak, but oy to time. Edwards’ seconds were accused by Newell of using ointment on Edwards’ hands, and asked what was on them; he said nothing but water. Aaron then said, “Let the fight go on.’’ Newell suid he could see that Edwards had “Grossitt,” @ preparation which, among sporting men, is dreaded as likely to blind an opponent. The ref- eree said nothing, but told the men to fight on, Collyer’s seconds refused to allow nim to proceed, dust then terrible uproar occurred wich had evidently been brewing in the last moment or two, Strange men broke into the ring, woen Collyer's seconds appealed to the reieree. Edwards’ seconds inaisted that time had been called and the stakes be given over to Edwards, or that the fight pro- ceed. The referee then firmly announced that he had calied “time” for them to fight. Coliyer’s sec- onda then refused to fight auy turther, and leit the question to the decision of the referee. The impression prevails among sporting men that the stakes will be given to Edwards and the fight to Collyer. The fight lasted twenty-five minutes. SKETCHES OF THE COMBATANTS. Sam Collyer’s Career. Sam Collyer (right name Walter Jamieson) ts of Scotch descent, although born im _ Boulogne, France, in 1842. In height he is five feet five and a balf inches without his shoes, and in many of his battles weighed 128 pounds. His parents left France when the eubject of our sketch was but an Infant, and resided in England until he had at- tained his thirteenth year, when the family re- moved to this country, settiing at Williamsburg, IL. 1. Like all sons of Auld Scotia, Sam was fond of athletic pastimes, especially boxing, and, while yet a minor, took an active part in a number of sparring exhibitions on Long Island, the quali- ties which he then gave evidence of possessing causing him to be looked upon as a promising young man. In the general rush to arms early tn the war Sam enlisted in the 139th regiment, N.Y.8.V., where he was known by his family name, but at Port Royal, S.C., from some caprice or other, he adopted his present nom de plume, Collyer soon attracted attention in his regiment, and, by his fattnful performance of duty, sol- dierly bearing and great courage in the hour of peril, Won the esteem of both officers and men, and was speedily elevated to the rank of orderly sergeant, a position he filled with eminent satis- faction to all—not a very easy task everynody will admit who knows anything of the difficulties that beset one of such rank. At the close of the war Sam made Baltimore his pisce of residence, trom whence he was backed for his maiden encounter in the ring with one Mike Carr, aitas John English, formerly of New York, where he had a turn-up with Johnny Grady in the “Bloody Sixth.” They fought near the Monumental City on March 16, 1866, Sam polishing bis rival of in fourteen rounds, occupying just twenty-four minutes. He scored his aecond vic- tory over Race Bolster, called “Horatio” by the boys, near Alexandria, Va., for $300 a side, May 8, 1866, forty-nine rounds being fought in fifty-five minutes, Between these matches Collyer endeav- ored to get on with Jim Kerrigan, and articles were drawn up, signed, sealed and delivered, and a forfeit of $25 deposited by either party. Through some misunderstanding, however, Jim’s second in- staiment failed to be received in time, and so he ‘was obliged to forieit. The next and greatest victory of the series placed to the credit of Sam was achieved over tho well known Barney Aaron, The fight took place at Pohick Landing, on the Virginia shore of. the Potomac, June 20, 1866, and was for $500 a side and the light weight championship, which Barney hat juletly held ior so long a time that it was thought fuprobable that any over-zealous and ambitious Bree would attempt to wrest it from him, The tile lasted one hour and twenty-five minutes, and both men were dreadfully punished, Aaron being stone blind. The New York Jada, unwilling to let the championship remain in Baltimore, luoked about for some one else to pit against the wonder, and finally selected Johnny [cGiade, and they were matched alter considerabie delay at 128 pounds for $2,000. Tne Latte was fought near Goldsboro’, Pa, January 16, 1867, Collyer winning without trouble in forty-seven rounds and fifty-five minutes. About this time Aaron wanted another shy at Sauj, and was accommodated, and they fought for $1,000 and the championsb: yA Aquia Creek, ‘Va., June 12, same year, when Aaron was declared the winner at the end of the sixty-seventh round, or ‘ing one hour and five minutes. Sam tri to get on another maton with Aaron, but the latter was afraid of it and said he wouldn’t ‘give away weight any more, but was walling. to fight anybody at 116 or 120 as.” kinding that Barney would not again come front, Collyer accepted @ chalice: from Billy Kelly, met near Strickland, Pa., November 27, 1867, when, aiter a tongh contest of 111 rounds, lasting one hour and fifty minutes, Sam was declared the winner, Kelly being badly punishod. Now Collyer rested upon his laurels until the ar- rivaiin New York of Abe Hicken, an English P of some notoriety. A match was carn- ostly discussed between the mon, but it ended in smoke. Atthia time Billy Edwards had been in ts in two light blows, There | Gosnam for some montns, and, attracting the at- tention of a tew wealthy’ sports, they offered to matoh Billy against Sam at 124 pouns Though Sam Knew that tue weight was several poua leas than the figure at which he could make on i ope nevertheless gave in and signed ar- 8 for the championship of America and $1,000 aside. The battle came off at Cherry Point, Va., on Al 24, 1868, Edwards winning in forty~ soven rounds, lasting one hour and eignteen min- utes. Sam then went on 8 spar: tour throughout the counter and offered to fight avy man tn the world to weight. Charles Dougherty, of Richmond, accepted the challenge; @ match was made and the men met on the James- town River in October, 1869, and Collyer re- ceived the stakes, owing to Dougherty being over weight, Sam then endeavored to get on a match re. Ed Tuohey and other light weights, but Edwards was again matched to fignt Sam for $2,000 and the championship. The fight took place on Mystic Island, Long {sland Sound, March 3, 1870, when Sam was deteated the second time, tne battle lasting through forty rounds and forty- seven minutes. On July 19, 1870, Collyer defeated Jack Laderty, of Clocinnati, for $500, at catch woight, in thirty-one rounds, occupying fourteen minutes, This fight took piace at Quindora, Mo. Sam's next and last fight was with Patsey Maguire, champion of the Suuth, for $200 a side. It came off at Little Rock, Ark., and Collyer won in seven rounds, lasting twenty minutes, ‘The present match was made in Philad@iphia, where Sam ract Billy at an exhibition, aud im an- swer to the proposition, tne latter said chat he would fignt Collyer again if the $500 which he con- sidered due him was forthcoming. This was in reference to the money which Sam sued for and recovered in 1870, when the temporary stake- holder declared Collyer had iorfeited to Howards, The result of the conierence was that Sam agreed to give Billy the $600, and the articies of agree- ment to fight at catch weights for $1,000 a side and the championship were signed. iter this impor- tant work was gone through with, Collyer, in com- pany with Barney Aaron, started upon a length- ened sparring tour through the West and was very successiul, when in good time Sam, with Bar- ney ag bis mentor, went into training near New- port, Ky., tor the important event. One week since he arrived at McKee’s Rocks, three miles from Pisteharg, where he remained until the day before the battle, putting the fnishing touches upon his physical condition. Sam is an exceedingly well bred young man, has @ very fair education, and would be taken four ul- Tost anything else but a prize aghter. Life of William Edwards. Witham, or as he is familiartly called, Billy Edwards, was born in West Birmingham. England, December 21, 1844, He is five feet four anda half inches in his stockings, possesses an exceedingly well knit frame, has fair complexion, light brown hair and blue eyes, and looks more like a clerk than @ pugilist. When young he was thrown among the sporting element, and upon his arrival in this country iu 1865, he made a@ favorab'e im- pression at sparring exhibitions, In February, 1868, he accepted a challenge from Sam Collyer, and fought at Cherry Point, Va., August 24, 1868, Edwards winning in forty-seven rounds, lasting Ih. 18m, After this, his first ring battle, Billy said he would “fight no more,” but annoyed by chal- lenges from Patsy Sheppard, he put up a forfeit to fight Sheppard for $1,000 aside, but that was the last of it, Collyer then offered to fight Edwards @t 128 pounds (the previous match being at 124 pounds) but Billy relused, and so anxious was Sam to meet his old antagonist, he waived the 128 pounds question, and consented to mect him again at the old weight of 124 pounds and $1,000 aside, They came together on Mystic Island, March 2, 1870, and Sam was defeated the second time, the battle lasting 47m, in which time forty rounds were fought, Jn the same year Collyer and Edwards mado another maich, Collyer wagering $1,000 to Edward's a, to fight at catch weight within fifty miles of it. Louis. Sam's last deposit not arriviug in time the money up was handed rather hurriedly to Edwards, and Collyer not liking the way things had gone sued jor the amount and recovered. Kdwards was next matched to fight the “Bold Hero”’—Tim Cojlins—for $1,000 a side and the championship. They met at Cold Spring, N. Y., on May 24, 1870, but the police stopped the pro- ceedings. Next day they iought, at Kast New York, ninety-two rounds, lasting 2h. 15m., when Collins had the best o it, and, darkness coming on, the referee deciared the fight “a draw.” This was the toughest place pu had ever been in, and it required very clever tactics to bring about the above result aud save his backers’ money. The fighters returned to New York the same night, when they were arrested, tried for the offence and sentenced to one year’s imprisonment and a fine of $1,000each. After serving seven months they were liberated and the fine remitted. For a while aiter his release Edwards travelled about with some of the profession, when, on bis return to New York, he ma@e a match with “George Seddon’s Unknown,” to fight at 124 pounds, for $1,000 aside and the light weight championship. The unknown turned out to be Arthur Chambers, and they met on Walpole Island, Canada, September aN 1872, Chambers won by an alleged fot in twenty-six rounds in th. 45m. The decision of the reieree in this battle was altogether wrong, and it is not far from the truth to say that Billy was robved out of the stakes. He then made another match with Chambers, wagering $2,000 to Chambers’ $1,000, bat it fell through and Edwards went to England. There he offered to fight anybody at 126 pounds, but the only result of the. challenge was a glove contest with Tom Fawcett, the light weight cha:a- ion, tor £50, This ankle we at Birmingham, Rlarcn 11, 1878, and was finally won by Edwards in forty-one rounds, though aiter an hour’s fighting Billy became very weak, and had Fawcett followed him up he could have finished him easily. On Billy’s return to New York he had a giove encounter witn Peter Croker, of the Foarth ward, who had been looked upon as the coming cham- pion during Edwards’ absence. It took place at the Casino, On Houston street, at the complimen- tary exhibition ren to Edwards by his friends, and resulted in Croker being badly worsted. Upon signing articles for the present match Ed- wards, like Coilyer, gave Many boxing entertain- ments, and finally settled down to legitimate training with some relatives near Buffalo, N. Y. He was in charge of his brother Mgt untils week since, when his old friend, Dooney Harris, joined him to complete the finishing touches. SUPPOSED BROBBEBY AND MURDER.

Ths carriage Was @ new one and was drawn by two splendid bays. The turnout was in charge of the coachman, a stalwart young colored man, and at his side on the box sat a young son of Mrs. Haw- ley, 4 about six or seven years. Shortly ater Mya. Howley lett the coach the horses became frightened at some passing wagons and started at @ terrible pace up Third avenue, with crowds run- ning alter them. On they tore, knocking against wagons and other vehicles, which partially de- molished the hind part of the carriage. The driver at the start, which was unexpected, immediately threw his lett arm about the boy’s waist and did his utmost to rein in the angry team with the right hand. The draw was open on Harlem Bridge, and nearer and nearer the team Satie Sees fas fee i by Officer Thomas D, preeinot, who was present to witiless a boat race between some of his brother-poticomen, The oMcer, seeing that the team, driver and child would most undoubtedly go to @ watery grave, sprang forward, and, with @ swing, seized one of the horses by the bridte and bent nis knees so as to protect his feet from being trampled upon. Considerable excitement existed, ond all who witnessed it spoke in praise of tne colored driver, who acted so heroically in saving the life of the boy and that of his horses and himseli, also of the officer, who raf the risk of his own ilie. The horses and the remnants of the wagon were re- moved to Mr. Hawiey's residence at Morrisania, ‘The damage will be about $1,500. INJURED IN A FIGHT.

Later in the evening a large body of negroes advanced from the South and attacked the towa, driving in the white skirmishers to the Oour¢ House, where the main body of the whites were stationed.

About 200 men from Hernando and vicinity will be here at two o’clock, and, in com. pany with volunteers from this city, will start a¢ four o'clock for Austin. ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE. Dr. Smith, who ta the unfortunate cause of the troubles there, reached here last night. Some three weeks since he was attacked in the streets of Austin by a negro, and, drawing a pistol, fred at the negro, but missed him, and killed a little negro girl who was standing Dy, which exaspe- Tated the negroes to such an extent that they col- lected a mob and took Dr. Smith to the woods te hang him, which they would have done but for the entreaties of Mayor Woodson and the doctor's wife. Since that time Dr. Smith has been s volan- tary inmate of the jail, to prevent being mobbed, Until last Friday, when some iriends came an@ carried him to Hernando, on learning which the negroes collected in large numbers and notified the Mayor that uniess he was brought back an@ put in jail they would burn the town.

The telegraph operator at Helens reports that negroes have been passing there, on the Missis- sippi side, all day, marching on Austin. The steamer White left this afternoon at five o’clook with about three handred armed men and sup- plies, under the command of Colonel Morgan, of Hernando, Miss., about halfof whom are from Mississippl. Among them are some twenty no groes, who say they want this foolishness stopped. ‘The remainder of the force is from this city. Large numbers of men have also started for Austin by land, and if the whites can hold the Court House till midnight reinforcements in sudicient aumperd ‘will have arrived to relieve them.
